Giants can be explained by the annunaki, a race of space gods that mingled with the earthly population. Their presence is even noted in the bible, which speaks of gods walking amoungst men. Unfortunately, however, the bible holds little more credibility than the average comic book...;-)
i thought it was more like predictive text for pda type devices.

what *are* you talking about?
linus torvalds is the lead *kernel* developer. he did not write, nor does he claim to have written the utilities of which i presume you speak. fileutils, textutils, glibc etc are *GNU* utilities.
vendors etc take all this free software (linux kernel, gnu libs, gnu utils, Xfree, mozilla blah, blah) and create a distribution. in the majority of cases the software distribution goes by the name of Linux (Redhat Linux, Slackware Linux).
Debian's distribution is called Debian GNU/Linux.
imho neither of these approaches are appropriate. The rather generic "Linux" term gives the impression that linux is something it is not. "GNU/Linux" betrays the core role played by software such as XFree.
GNU/Linux/Xfree/MPL... is simply ridiculous, which leads me to the conclusion that Redhat should distribute "RedHat", not "RedHat *Linux*". similarly, Debian should distribute "Debian", not "Debian *GNU/Linux*".
And we, the little people, should refer to our systems as Debian, or RedHat, or Slackware, or even GNU, if you use their software distribution (when complete).
Unfortunately "Linux" has become a generic term for these distributions. This is a harder but a no less important problem to resolve. I don't know what the answer is, but i'm pretty sure it's neither "Linux", nor "GNU/Linux". UN*X?? SYSVR4?? SYSfreeR4 (kind of like that actually)??
And before anyone asks, *yes*, this sort of thing *does* matter, and not just to RMS.
My clueless ex-boss tried to teach himself Java by buying the O'Reilly "Java Foundation Classes" thinking it was an entry level set of tutorials (ie foundation classes...get it?).
As you can imaging he received quite a surprise when he started reading it.
Still, *I* got a new book out of the whole episode.

Blimey, that brings back memories :-)
Don't forget Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga too!
Was the article written by George Bush?
My thoughts exactly. If you setup is such that this exploit is allowed, then it's likely there's plenty of other ways to root mysql.
Good to know it's fixed. And promptly too.
The mysql user must have administrative privileges to exploit the bug
ie. access to the mysql table itself

Wolverine didn't fry in X-Men???
just how is the Hurd coming on???
If its a BSD style licence, then there's no problem.
If its GPL, then Dre has just incurred the wrath of RMS...
"Dr Dre vs RMS"
is that the name of the lawsuit or the title of the track?
I'll just use Free/Net/Open BSD

many happy returncodes btw.
i thinks its fair to say you probably wouldn't have been alive to post this.
nope
torvalds wrote a kernel.
redhat/debian/mandrake/slackware/... took that kernel, the gnu software, and other stuff (notably XFree) and created their own distributions.

i hope your not attributing that quote to me
"don't forget, GNU likes to do things "differently""
ok maybe i shouldn't have said that. personally i quite like info docs.
in fact, most of my best friends are info docs.
most GNU utilities come with perfectly adequate info documentations. the man pages usually represent a barebones.
and "info" isn't really that much harder to type.
don't forget, GNU likes to do things "differently"
testing for loading XML is a bit silly anyway since DOM3 load and save aren't recommendations yet, but working drafts.
so failing the load xml test doesn't really tell us anything, other than the reviewer needs to take more care.
how much difference will it make now that dubya has pulled the US out of the kyoto agreement?
but we already know the "universal message"...

another funny story.

offtopic, but
... etc ad infinitum.
the monkey would also have typed the original message with 1 typo, 2typos, 3 typos
if you have a finite message, is there a finite or infinite number of typos you can make?
or is every message simply a typo of the *one great universal message*
must stop waffling...
i never really like people who "touch base" with each other.
:-/
a little to similar to touching cloth.

as an aside, the oil was distilled by Croda in Hull, UK (my home city), London as was claimed in the film.
shouldn't this come under "Ask Slashdot"?
